About Veronica
Dr. Veronica Martin-Perkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her background also includes work with issues such as attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She trained in counseling and educational administration and completed a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision. Over her career she has combined work in education and mental health settings, which shaped how she approaches practical problems. That experience informs her work with people facing life transitions common in early adulthood, such as leaving home, beginning work, and relationship changes.
Her practice uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide sessions. That allows sessions to focus on thoughts, behavior, emotions, and relationship patterns as needed.
Sessions typically involve talking through immediate struggles, learning skills to manage strong emotions, and clarifying personal values and goals. She also addresses trauma-related patterns and grief in practical steps rather than long technical explanations.
People who reach out can expect a focused, steady approach aimed at understanding what’s causing distress and finding manageable ways to reduce it. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck when making life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase depression or anxiety and supports problem-solving for daily challenges.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions. It can help people who struggle with commitment, trust, or intense emotional responses in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then choose or combine methods to fit those needs. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Confirm which session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or other commitments and can reduce travel time. They also allow brief check-ins when a shorter visit is helpful or when scheduling requires more flexibility.
